The Social Kitchen (TSK) launched its newest outlet at the Supertree Observatory in Gardens by the Bay. This is Singapore’s first social enterprise cloud kitchen that involves in hiring beneficiaries, helping the disadvantaged communities, and encouraging sustainable meat lifestyles across different venues.
Bringing onboard TSK’s trusted partners, Singaporeans can look forward to the sustainable and accessible no-meat options from The Vegetarian Butcher, long-missed sweet treats from Boufe and specialty drinks from The Ginger Pantry and The Chambers by Cask. Supporting TSK are two other brands, Leckerbaer, famous Danish reinvented butter cookies and Pioneer of the beloved Mille Crêpes Lady M, that offered a selection of delightful bakes.
Alvin Yapp, co-founder of The Social Kitchen shared that “We hope that Singaporeans will take this opportunity to be tourists in our sunny island and visit one of Singapore’s top attractions. Tuck into delicious food from our valued partners as we continue to eat good and do good, providing employment for our beneficiaries and their caregivers, and supporting the disadvantaged communities.”
